4,5-BIS(4-METHOXYPHENYL)IMIDAZOLE COMPOUND INDUCING DIFFERENTIATION OF MYOBLASTS OR MUSCLE FIBERS INTO NEURON CELLS, A PHARMACEUTICAL COMPOSITION INCLUDING SAID COMPOUND, A METHOD OF INDUCING NEURON CELLS DIFFERENTIATION AND A SCREENING METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING ADDITIONAL COMPOUND USEFUL FOR INDUCING NEURON CELLS DIFFERENTIATION

摘要

The present invention relates to 4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazole compound inducing differentiation of myoblasts or muscle fibers into neuron cells, a pharmaceutical composition including said compound, a method of inducing neuron cells differentiation and a screening method for identifying additional compound useful for inducing neuron cells differentiation. More specifically, it relates to 2-{2-[5-(3-chlorophenyl)]furanyl}-4,5-bis(4-methoxyphenyl)imidazole that induces differentiation of myoblasts or muscle fibers into neuron cells, all pharmaceutically acceptable isomers, salts, hydrates, solvates and prodrug thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition including said compound, a method of inducing neuron cells differentiation and a screening method for identifying additional compound useful for inducing neuron cells differentiation.
